Downloads and Building

Download stable versions from the website, or from Releases

Or, compile the launcher to get the latest experimental version:

git clone https://github.com/Mrmayman/quantumlauncher.git
cd quantum-launcher
cargo run --release

You can omit the --release flag for faster compile times, but slightly worse performance and MUCH larger build file size.

Why QuantumLauncher?

• QuantumLauncher provides a feature rich, flexible, simple and lightweight experience with plenty of modding features.

What about the others? Well...

• The official Minecraft launcher is slow, unstable, buggy and frustrating to use, with barely any modding features
• Legacy Launcher lacks many features
• TLauncher is suspected to be malware

Notes

This launcher supports offline mode, but it's at your own risk. I am not responsible for any issues caused. You should buy the game, but if you can't, feel free to use this launcher until you eventually get the means (like me).

If anyone has any issues/complaints, just open an issue in the repo.
